BACKGROUND

In a process of using an electronic device, a user usually encounters acase of no response to an operation, for example, after an icon of anapplication (application, APP) is tapped, the icon does not give anyfeedback. This causes the user to have a feeling of waiting. A long waitmay even cause the user to doubt whether a current operation isperformed by the user. As a result, operation experience fails to meetan expectation.

Forexample, when a touch operation whose touch operation strength is lessthan a first pressure threshold is performed on an icon of a “Message”application, an instruction for viewing a message is executed; when atouch operation whose touch operation strength is greater than or equalto the first pressure threshold is performed on the icon of the“Message” application, an instruction for creating a new message isexecuted.

The gyro sensor 180B may be configured to determine a motion posture ofthe electronic device 100. In some embodiments, angular velocities ofthe electronic device 100 around three axes (namely, X, Y, and Z axes)may be determined by using the gyro sensor 180B. The gyro sensor 180Bmay be used for image stabilization during shooting. For example, whenthe shutter is pressed, the gyro sensor 180B detects a shaking angle ofthe electronic device 100, and calculates, based on the angle, adistance for which a lens module needs to compensate, to cancel shakingof the electronic device 100 through reverse motion of the lens, therebyimplementing image stabilization. The gyro sensor 180B may also be usedfor navigation and a motion sensing game scenario.

The acceleration sensor 180E may detect magnitudes of accelerations ofthe electronic device 100 in various directions (generally along threeaxes), may detect a magnitude and direction of gravity when theelectronic device 100 is static, and may be further configured torecognize a posture of the electronic device, and be applied toapplications such as screen switching between a landscape mode and aportrait mode, and a pedometer.

The ambient light sensor 180L is configured to sense ambient lightintensity. The electronic device 100 may adaptively adjust brightness ofthe display screen 194 based on the sensed ambient light intensity. Theambient light sensor 180L may also be configured to automatically adjustwhite balance during photographing. The ambient light sensor 180L mayfurther cooperate with the optical proximity sensor 180G in detectingwhether the electronic device 100 is in a pocket, to prevent anaccidental touch.

The fingerprint sensor 180H is configured to collect a fingerprint. Theelectronic device 100 may use a collected fingerprint feature toimplement fingerprint unlock, application access lock, fingerprint-basedphotographing, fingerprint-based call answering, and the like.

The temperature sensor 180J is configured to detect a temperature. Insome embodiments, the electronic device 100 executes a temperatureprocessing policy based on a temperature detected by the temperaturesensor 180J. For example, when a temperature reported by the temperaturesensor 180J exceeds a threshold, the electronic device 100 lowersperformance of a processor near the temperature sensor 180J, to reducepower consumption and implement thermal protection. In some otherembodiments, when a temperature is less than another threshold, theelectronic device 100 heats the battery 142 to avoid abnormal shutdownof the electronic device 100 caused by low temperature. In some otherembodiments, when a temperature is less than still another threshold,the electronic device 100 boosts an output voltage of the battery 142 toavoid abnormal shutdown caused by low temperature.

The touch sensor 180K is also referred to as a “touch panel”. The touchsensor 180K may be disposed in the display screen 194, and the touchsensor 180K and the display screen 194 constitute a touchscreen, alsoreferred to as a “touch control screen”. The touch sensor 180K isconfigured to detect a touch operation on or near the touchscreen. Thetouch sensor may transfer a detected touch operation to the applicationprocessor to determine a touch event type. A visual output related tothe touch operation may be provided by using the display screen 194. Insome other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K may be alternativelydisposed on a surface of the electronic device 100, at a locationdifferent from that of the display screen 194.

FIG. 3 shows a group of graphical user interface (graphical userinterface, GUI) pages of the mobile phone, where (a) to (d) in FIG. 3show a process in which pixel values of an icon on a desktop change whena user taps the icon on the desktop.

Referring to a GUI page shown in (a) in FIG. 3, the GUI page is thedesktop of the mobile phone. The desktop of the mobile phone includesthree desktop pages, and each desktop page includes one or moreapplication icons. Currently, the desktop of the mobile phone displaysthe second desktop page. This desktop page includes an Alipay icon, aWidget Store icon, a Weibo icon, a Gallery icon, a WeChat icon, a CardPack icon, a Settings icon, and a Themes icon 301. For example, pixel(pixel, px) values of the Themes icon are 216 px in length and 216 px inwidth. As shown in (a) in FIG. 3, a finger of a user is to tap theThemes icon 301, and when the finger of the user approaches but is notyet in contact with (down) the Themes icon 301, the Themes icon 301 maymaintain the initial pixel values in length and width.

It should be understood that, in (a) in FIG. 3, pixels of all icons onthe desktop of the mobile phone may be the same.

It should be further understood that a case that the finger of the userapproaches but has not yet tapped may also be considered as hover(hover) of the finger of the user.

Referring to a GUI page shown in (b) in FIG. 3, the GUI page is thedesktop of the mobile phone. Currently, the desktop of the mobile phonedisplays the second desktop page. After the mobile phone detects, on thesecond desktop page, an operation of tapping the icon 301 by the fingerof the user, the pixel values of the icon 301 on the second desktop pagechange. As shown in (c) in FIG. 3, for example, the length of the icon301 is changed to 194 px, and the width of the icon 301 is changed to194 px.

It should be understood that tapping the icon 301 by the finger of theuser may include touching the icon 301 by the finger of the user, or acase that a distance between the finger of the user and the icon 301 isless than 0.5 mm may also be considered as touching the icon 301 by thefinger of the user.

It should be further understood that, in this embodiment of thisapplication, when the finger of the user touches a page element, adistance between the finger and the page element may also be determinedby touch sensitivity of the mobile phone.

In an embodiment, a process in which the pixel values of the icon 301are reduced from 216 px in length and 216 px in width to 194 px inlength and 194 px in width may be a gradual process, and the pixelvalues of the icon 301 may be gradually reduced to 194 px in length and194 px in width at a specific rate.

In an embodiment, after the pixel values of the icon 301 are reducedfrom 216 px in length and 216 px in width to 194 px in length and 194 pxin width, the pixel values of the icon 301 may remain 194 px in lengthand 194 px in width, and be no longer reduced.

In an embodiment, in a process in which the pixel values of the icon 301are changed from 216 px in length and 216 px in width to 194 px inlength and 194 px in width, the mobile phone detects that the finger ofthe user is always in contact with the icon 301.

It should be understood that duration of the process in which the iconis changed from 216 px in length and 216 px in width to 194 px in lengthand 194 px in width may be 100-150 ms.

It should be further understood that the finger of the user may alreadyleave a screen before the pixel values of the icon 301 are reduced to194 px in length and 194 px in width; in this case, the icon maycontinue to zoom out to 194 px in length and 194 px in width, and thenbe gradually restored to 216 px in length and 216 px in width. It shouldbe further understood that, in this embodiment of this application,tapping the icon 301 by the finger of the user may also be understood aspressing the icon 301 by the finger of the user. For example, when themobile phone detects that a pressure value of pressing by the user isgreater than or equal to a preset pressure value, the icon 301 may bereduced in size at a specific rate.

It should be further understood that, in this embodiment of thisapplication, tapping the icon 301 by the finger of the user may also beunderstood as touching or contacting the icon 301 by the finger of theuser. The mobile phone may scale the icon 301 when detecting that theuser contacts or touches the icon 301. In other words, the mobile phonedoes not need to detect a value of pressure with which the user contactsor touches the icon, but merely needs to detect that the user contactsor touches the icon.

It should be further understood that the GUI pages shown in FIG. 3 aredescribed by using an example in which the pixel values of the icon are216 px in length and 216 px in width; the pixel values of the icon onthe desktop of the mobile phone may alternatively be other values. Thisis not limited in this embodiment of this application.

It should be further understood that the GUI pages shown in FIG. 3 aredescribed by using an example in which the pixel values in length andwidth of the icon are respectively reduced to 90% of the initial pixelvalue in length and 90% of the initial pixel value in width when themobile phone detects that the finger of the user taps the icon; thepixel values may be alternatively reduced based on another proportion.This is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

It should be understood that the mobile phone may automatically generatethe corresponding alarm clock widget 503 after displaying the textinformation in the window 502.

It should be further understood that, after the user gives the voiceinstruction “I want to set an alarm”, because the voice instructionincludes a user intention (to set an alarm) but does not includecorresponding slot information (what time to set the alarm for), themobile phone may directly determine, for the user, the slot informationcorresponding to the intention, that is, the mobile phone may directlydetermine 8:00 a.m. by default as the slot information corresponding tothe user intention. Then, the mobile phone may display the alarm clockwidget 503, and notify the user that “the alarm has been created” byusing text and speech.

In an embodiment, the mobile phone may determine a corresponding userintention after receiving the voice instruction “I want to set an alarm”of the user. Yet, after the mobile phone finds that the voiceinstruction lacks corresponding slot information, the mobile phone maysend, to the user, voice information used to obtain the slotinformation. For example, the mobile phone may play an announcement“What time do you expect to set the alarm for?” to the user by using thevoice assistant. After the mobile phone once again receives voiceinformation from the user, the mobile phone may determine thecorresponding slot information. For example, after the user gives avoice instruction “set the alarm for 9:00 am.”, the mobile phone mayautomatically generate the alarm for 9:00 a.m.

When afinger of the user is about to tap but is not yet in contact with thecontrol 804, the control 804 may maintain initial pixel values, and theinitial pixel values are 216 px in length and 216 px in width.

It should be understood that the camera interface may further include aGallery icon 805. After detecting that the user taps the Gallery icon805, the mobile phone may display a shot photo, video, or the like on ascreen. The camera interface may further include a switching control 806of a front-facing camera and a rear-facing camera. The user may switchbetween the front-facing camera and the rear-facing camera by tappingthe control 806.

It should be further understood that the pixel values of the cameracontrol 804 may be the same as pixel values of the icon on the desktop,or may be different from pixel values of the icon on the desktop. Thisis not limited in this embodiment of this application.

Referring to a GUI page shown in (c) in FIG. 8, the GUI page is a camerainterface displayed when the mobile phone detects that the user taps thecontrol 804. In this case, the pixel values of the camera control 804are reduced to 194 px in length and 194 px in width.

In an embodiment, a process in which the pixel values of the cameracontrol 804 are reduced from 216 px in length and 216 px in width to 194px in length and 194 px in width may be a gradual process, and the pixelvalues of the task widget 703 may be gradually reduced to 194 px inlength and 194 px in width at a specific rate.

In an embodiment, when the pixel values of the camera control 804 arereduced from 216 px in length and 216 px in width to 194 px in lengthand 194 px in width, the pixel values of the camera control 804 mayremain 194 px in length and 194 px in width, and be no longer reduced.

Referring to a GUI page shown in (d) in FIG. 8, the GUI is a camerainterface displayed when the mobile phone detects that the finger of theuser leaves the control 804. When the mobile phone detects that thefinger of the user leaves the camera control 804, the camera control 804is gradually restored from 194 px in length and 194 px in width to theinitial pixel values. When the pixel values of the camera control arerestored to 205 px in length and 205 px in width (that is, the pixelvalues are not yet restored to the initial pixel values), the mobilephone once again detects an operation of tapping the control 804 by theuser. It should be understood that this process may be a process inwhich the user takes a candid photo by using the finger.

Referring to a GUI page shown in (e) in FIG. 8, the GUI page is a camerainterface displayed when the mobile phone detects, for the second timein a short period of time, that the user taps the control 804. In thiscase, the camera control 804 once again zoom out to 194 px in length and194 px in width from the pixel values (205 px in length and 205 px inwidth) that are obtained when it is detected that the finger of the usertaps the camera control for the second time.

Referring to a GUI page shown in (f) in FIG. 8, the GUI page is a camerainterface displayed when the mobile phone detects that the finger of theuser leaves the control. The pixel values of the camera control 804 maybe gradually restored from 194 px in length and 194 px in width to theinitial pixel values. It should be understood that, in a process inwhich the pixel values of the camera control 804 are gradually restoredfrom 194 px in length and 194 px in width to the initial pixel values,the mobile phone detects no operation of tapping the control 804 by thefinger of the user.

In this embodiment of this application, after the mobile phone detectsan operation of tapping the control by the user, the mobile phone maycontrol the control to be reduced in size based on a specificproportion. Changing a shape of the page element upon detecting the useroperation enhances feedback from the mobile phone for the useroperation, to improve a prompt effect of the mobile phone for the useroperation. In addition, when the mobile phone detects that the finger ofthe user leaves the control, the pixel values of the control may begradually restored. In a restoration process, when the mobile phone onceagain detects an operation of tapping the control by the user, themobile phone may control the control to be reduced in size again. Such aprocess may be referred to as an interruptible mechanism. Through theinterruptible mechanism, consistency between mind and eye of the usercan be achieved, and an expectation of the user for the operation ismet.

The foregoing describes several groups of GUI pages in the embodimentsof this application with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 8. In descriptionsof the several groups of GUI pages, when the user taps a correspondingpage element, the page element may change correspondingly, to enhancefeedback from the electronic device to the user, to improve a prompteffect of the electronic device for a user operation.

When tapping the icon shown in (b) in FIG. 3 and the camera controlshown in (c) in FIG. 8, the user may feel that the icon bounces morelightly. When tapping the missed-call notification widget shown in (f)in FIG. 4, the alarm clock widget shown in (d) in FIG. 5, and theunread-message notification widget shown in (d) in FIG. 6, the user mayfeel that the notification widget or the alarm clock widget bounces moreheavily. When tapping the task widget shown in (e) in FIG. 7, the usermay feel that the task widget bounces more heavily than the notificationwidget or the alarm clock widget.

The following describes a page element change process in the embodimentsof this application.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a process in which a user taps a pageelement. The process in which the user taps the page element may bedivided into three processes: finger hover (hover), finger down (down),and finger up (up). Average duration of the tapping process may be 460ms, and a time interval from finger down to finger up may beapproximately 100-130 ms. In this embodiment of this application,feedback with animation (animation) is mainly provided for the user inthe 100-130 ms from finger down to finger up. In this embodiment of thisapplication, an electronic device may perform, in the time interval fromfinger down to finger up, feedback in the form of animation for anoperation of tapping the page element by the user. This helps to improvea prompt effect of the mobile phone for the user operation.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of simulating spring mechanics whendifferent page elements are pressed according to an embodiment of thisapplication. In this embodiment of this application, an electronicdevice may mold different bounce effects based on areas of page elementsof different sizes. Feedback effects of tapping page elements that havedifferent areas are adjusted by increasing an initial velocity, astiffness value, and a damping value of a tap spring, to bring differentfeelings to a user. A feeling of lightness is brought for pressing asmall-area page element. A feeling of firmness is brought for pressing amedium-area page element. A feeling of heaviness is brought for pressinga large-area page element.

For example, Table 1 shows application scenarios corresponding to pageelements with different areas in the electronic device.

TABLE 1 Page element type Application scenario Small-area Desktop icon,photo thumbnail, control, page element and the like Medium-area Alarmclock widget, notification widget, page element negative-one-screenwidget, and the like Large-area Multi-task widget and the like pageelement

For page elements with different areas, different spring mechanicsparameters may be simulated.

For example, Table 2 shows spring mechanics parameters corresponding topage elements with different areas.

TABLE 2 Parameter Recommended Stiffness Damping Initial scaling Pageelement type (stiffness) (damping) velocity proportion Small-area 410 381 90% page element Medium-area 350 35 0.5 95% page element Large-area340 28 0 95% page element

It should be understood that, for the parameters shown in Table 2, masssprings corresponding to the small-area page element, the medium-areapage element, and the large-area page element may have a same mass.

A differential equation during motion of a damping system is a formula(1):

$\begin{matrix}{{{- {kx}} - {g\frac{dx}{dt}}} = {m\frac{d^{2}x}{{dt}^{2}}}} & (1)\end{matrix}$

Herein, k represents an elastic coefficient, g represents a frictioncoefficient, m represents a mass of a mass spring, x represents adistance between the mass spring and an equilibrium position,

$\frac{dx}{dt}$

represents a velocity of the mass spring, and

$\frac{d^{2}x}{{dt}^{2}}$

represents an acceleration of the mass spring.

FIG. 11 is a schematic change diagram of a simulated spring when asmall-area page element is pressed. A mass of a mass springcorresponding to the small-area page element, a mass of a mass springcorresponding to a medium-area page element, and a mass of a mass springcorresponding to a large-area page element may be different. The mass ofthe mass spring corresponding to the small-area page element may be 0.3kg, where B represents a distance h between the mass spring and anequilibrium position, and C represents stiffness of the mass spring.When the spring is pressed by an external force, a value of B is changedto h₁.

FIG. 12 is a schematic change diagram of a simulated spring when amedium-area page element is pressed. When the spring is pressed by anexternal force, a value of B is changed to h₂.

FIG. 13 is a schematic change diagram of a simulated spring when alarge-area page element is pressed. When the spring is pressed by anexternal force, a value of B is changed to h₃.

Herein, h₁<h₂<h₃.

It should be understood that Table 2 is merely an example. Springmechanics parameters corresponding to page elements with different areasmay be alternatively shown in Table 3, where mass springs correspondingto a small-area page element, a medium-area page element, and alarge-area page element may have a same mass and same stiffness.

TABLE 3 Parameter Page element type Damping Initial velocity Small-area28 1 page element Medium-area 35 0.5 page element Large-area 38 0 pageelement

It should be further understood that the parameter values in Table 2 andTable 3 are merely examples. This is not limited in this embodiment ofthis application.

With reference to the foregoing embodiments and related accompanyingdrawings, an embodiment of this application provides a page elementdisplay method. The method may be implemented in the electronic device(for example, a mobile phone or a tablet computer), with thetouchscreen, shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 14, the methodmay include the following steps.
